The most sucessful farmers are
those who raise their own sup
plies at home.
With the ground contiening
so that no plowing can be done,
it would look as if the natural
causes were contributing to the
reduction of the acrage in cotton.
The announcement of the death
of General Lbw Wallace brings
sorrow throughout the country.
That great book, Ben Hur, will
ever last as his most enduring
monument.
Tbe most rotten demagogery
that it is possible to dream of
i that of a member of the gen
eral asscobly voting against
making a levy that will raise a
und sufficient to pay the current
xp<res of the state, on the
ground that it would be imposing
Sburden on the people too
heavy to be borne. There is no
grater bnmden~ possible to the
individual or the corporation
than thait of debts incurred be
yond current expenses.
The votes on t.he Brice bill and
the bill providin. for compulsory
education clearly indicate that
the anti-dispensary sentiment
and the sentiment for the educa
tion of the masses are steadily
gaining ground. Some day in
the future the dispenrary will
pass away as will also the high
privilege that parents now have
of bringing ap their chiliren in
ignorance against the welfare of
the state.
We begin with this issue the
publication of a 'series of articles
by Mr. Ford on the traditional
history of the Rocky Mount sec
tion. "These articles we hope to
publish consecutively and we feel
sure that they will be greatly en
joyed by the readers of The
News and Herald. Mr. Ford de

worked up the local history of

The farmers of Fairfield should
not overlook the call made else
where for them to meet Saturday
afternoon to organiza township
associations. At this meeting
delegates will be elected to the
county convention to be held
early in March at a time to be
named by the convention in Col
umbia. The plans outlined by
the Southern Cotton Grower's
Association makes these town
ship associations necessary, and
every township in ihe county
should fall in line by organizing
att the tine suggcested.
It is ve ry evident from the
nuamber of farm3rs who attended
the Cotton Gro wers' Associations
of the various counties through
oat the State Saturday that the
farmners~ are very much awakened
to the necessity of reducing the
acrer-e in cotton. This is all
well and as it should be, but it
must be borne in mind that such
a reduction cannot be effected
merelyr by passing resolut ions.
The thing to (do is for every
farmer to recognize the impor'tance
of raising all his supplies at
home. The farmers who meet
this condition of progressive
farming are not the ones who
have contributed1 to an over
production of the South's prin
cipal staple.
Explain Yourself, Senator Johnson,
The representatives of the
county in the house or the senate
are responsible to the people of
that county for the manner in
which they~represent them. Two
important measurs, relating to
Fairfield, have fallen thbrough in
the General Assembly because of
the action of Senator Johnson,
who, fortifying himself behiud
that almost insuperable barrier
to legislation, senatorial cour
tesy, bitterly opposed the repre
sentatives in the ho~use, refusing
to agree to any proposition on
their part that promised the de
sired r esults. It io now up to
Senator Johnson to explain him
self in rega.rd to these vital mat
ters.
First, in regard to tne conrt
house and jail. Mr. Brice intro
duced a bill providing for the
submitting to the people af the
county the proposition of voting
15,000 in bonds for the erection
of a new jail on a new site and
for the enlargement of the court
house. The said bill, which was
published mn full in these columns,

H 10. The es
~oods on approa
the session and through some
hold-up on the part of Senator
Johnson, did not get back to the
house until the day before ad
jourunent when it was too late:
to make any change that might'
Ihave been possible, even shouldr
it have been possible for Senator
Johnson to agree to anythirng that
the other members of the delega
tion would have been willing to*
concede. For it must be borne
in mind that local legislation is
barely possible where the county:
delegation is not a unit. Why
this very great delay?
Th~e bill, that came hack to the
house, had been so changed that
it bore but little resemblance to
the original.
It contained the following nro-.
visions every one of which bears:
on its face Senator Johnson's
determination to defeat any leg
islation making the needed im
pro':ements possible; that the jailI
property could not be .sold for
less thau 853,000; that the propo
sition of voting for the bonds
shouild be submitted to the vo
ters at the next prim ury instead
ohe hin a special election; that
tebonds should be for a period
of twenty instead of forty .sears,)
with the privilege of retiring
any or all of them at the option
of the county.
In naming S5,000 as the mini
Imum priee for the jail property,
Senator Johnson was imposing a:
condition which he firmly be
lieved would surely sound the
Jteathi kne: to the preposedim
provemients. We aire not goingt
to tickle him for this apparently
sma rt trick by telling him that
the property would not brin
that suns, for we do not know
whiat it wouhl bring. Be in . so
desirabl r located, it would cornm
ma'ind the- veryv highest market
pricte, which is all that it would
be wort to the counity or any/
one0 *!se anad is all that it could)
be exp)ected to bring. In pro-i
viding for the pro'position to be
voted on at the next primary in- :
i ead oM at a special or general
eection, senator Johnsou was
imnposing a condition that would
hava maide tde measure uncon
stitutionial. for hie, as well as
every one else, knows that suThi
matteis as the issuarce of bonds i
cannot be settled by a palrty vote.

stead of 40-year bonds and intro- t
dueing a clause providing for r
their retiremuent at option was 1.

Fairfield conty met at the court
house Saturday and organised the

ciattion. J. W. Lyles was calied

ton Gr'owers Association at New
Orleans and heartily approve the

We are goin
rest. Bargains
ything in our
Sone, come all
~r1y bird catcl
ration issuing them, always sell
nuch' higher than short term
aonds that can be taken up at
>ption. Surely Senator Johnson
loes not think that the people of
bhe county would go to the trou
ble of issuing bonds at a vory low
rate of interest which carry with
them conditions that would make
it impossible for the same to be
boated at pair.
To sum up, it i; perfectly clear
that the iirst of the con.litions
imposed by Senator Johnson's
bilt was with the hopes that it
yould not be complied with and
~hat the other conditions imposed
were such as to either invalidate
~he bonds altogether or to make
~hem non-floatable at par. How
nach more manly it would have
:een for Senator Johinsan to have
>penly opposed the bill thani to
1ave resorted to such underhand
A measures!
Second, in regard to county
snd state levy. For several years,
:he county commissioners have
>eon -asking for an increase of
mne-half mill in the levy of the
younty, for the expenses have
yearly been greater than the in
30me. - The same request was
nade aigain this year and the
epresentatives in the house, be
.eving that it would be impossi
>le to get their colleague in the
senate to agree to an increase of
mne-half mill, substituted one
ourth mill, and this Senator
rohnson opposed to such an ex
:ert that tbe levy remains at four
nills. Consequently Fairfield.
a3uUty will be deeper in debt at'
he end of the p)resent year than
t is now, the present indebted
1ess already being in the neigh
>orhood of $20,000 after all taxes
are collected. Honesty with the
>eople whom they represent
gould have demanded of our
epresentatives the taking of some
teps to reduce this -ever-increas-:
ng indebted nes. To their credit~
he members of the house so did.
surely Senator Johnson does not
latter himself with believing that
he people will take his action in
be matter as an honest effort to
elieve them of the burden of
axation by voting to keep the
evy so lo>v that the county mnst
ecessarily get deeper and deeper,
o debt. What is true of his
ote on the tax levy for the coun -
y is also true as to his vote not
o increese the state levy to 5}
-ills, so as to make it possible to
ring the expenses of the state
overnment within the income.
No, Senator Johuson, the peo
le of tho county are not ulind,
eare watching you and you
re showing up in a way that is
